Sick Leave Calculator percentage showing incorrect

Hi 

We are using Account right - updated version. We noticed in entitlement - Sick leave accrual, we have 3.0769%

which calculates to 8 Days of sick leave per year for our staff. Is it supposed to be 3.8462% of gross hours? How come it is not updated automatically?

    Hi Parul1 

     

    Thanks for your post.  As leave entitlements are different for different industries/awards the calculation percentage needs to be manually entered by the employer to ensure they meet their entitlement obligations. The Help Article, Leave and entitlements, has detailed instructions on working out that percentage based on your obligations.

     

    The Help Article, Calculating an entitlement percentage, has a calculator to make this easier.

     

    Please let me know if you need further help.

      Hi there I have also noticed the same issue, I will have to adjust percentage to 3.8462% in sick leave entitlements and manually add for accrued sick leave, however my question is what is the official date of change this went from 8 days sick leave to 10 sick leave ? So dont know how far back to date ?

       

      thank you

        Hi Louise2 

         

        The Fair Work Act 2009 states that employees are entitled to 10 days paid personal leave. If you're not sure I would recommend checking with Fair Work.
